Résumé
Background: Urinary tract infections are defined as the spectrum of disease caused by invasion of microorganisms of the genitourinary tract. Symptomatic UTI may be present as a severe illness including higher frequency of bacteraemia and bilateral renal involvement with pyleonephritis or unusual clinical presentations of emphysematous cystitis. Methods: In sterile container clean voided midstream urine were collected and cultured on CLED agar, incubated at 370C overnight for visible growth. Results: Out of 100 diabetic patients 40 were males and 60 were females. Among them, 38 patients found to be suffering from UTI, in which 14 (36.84%) and female were 24 (63.16%). Escherichia coli 22 (57.90%) was most prevalent causing UTI, followed by Staphylococcus aureus 8 (21.05%), Klebsiella species 6 (15.79%), Pseudomonas species 1(2.63%) and Enterococcus species 1 (2.63%). Conclusion: High sugar level is the main cause of prevalence of urinary tract infection among the diabetic patients, so we need to control the sugar level in diabetic patients to reduce the prevalence of urinary tract infection in diabetic patients. Proper antibiotic policy in tertiary care hospitals to provide effective treatment as well as prevent the misuse of Antibiotics. However further studies with large sample size is highly recommended to further support the findings from this study.
